Is Gold Class Carnauba Plus safe on clear coats?

Yes. Meguiar's rates it safe for clear coats and all glossy paint types. Avoid textured plastic trim and matte finishes.

How long does the protection last?

Expect a few weeks to a couple of months on a car parked outdoors, longer in a garage. Synthetic sealants and coatings outlast it.

Can I apply it with a machine?

Yes. It works by hand with the included foam applicator or with a dual-action polisher such as Meguiar's MT300 on a soft finishing pad.

A tin of paste wax and one soft foam applicator. You supply microfiber towels for removal.

How is it different from Meguiar's liquid waxes?

The paste gives a slightly richer gloss and more control over thin application, but takes longer than a liquid or spray wax.

Do I need to clay or polish first?

For best results, wash, then clay and polish if the paint feels rough or has swirls. Wax protects; it does not correct defects.

What reviewers say
